Well, they taunted you in BelfastAnd they tortured you in SpainAnd in that Warsaw ghettoWhere they tied you up in chainsIn Vietnam and in ChiliWhere they came with tanks and gunsIt's there you sowed the seeds of peaceIn your daughters and your sons

And now your music's playingAnd the writings on the wallAnd all the dreams you paintedCan be seen by one and allAnd now you've got them thinkingAnd the future's just begunFor you sowed the seeds of freedomIn your daughters and your sons
